Shesterkin Flop Leads to Consecutive Powerplay Goals for Rangers

Rangers' netminder Igor Shesterkin was busy in his crease in Game 3. Shesterkin was doing more than making saves, however. He was drawing penalties.

The Tampa Bay Lightning took consecutive penalties for goaltender interference. The first was a reputation call against Lightning forward Corey Perry, and a nominee for flop of the year by Shesterkin.

Mika Zibanejad scored on the following powerplay.

The second goalie interference goes to Riley Nash (first game these playoffs). This was a more legitimate call, at least.

Chris Kreider scored on the following powerplay.

Shesterkin had two assists in a second round game against the Hurricanes. He might not show up on the score sheet for assists tonight, but he certainly impacted the game.
